The Based Apparel website, linked to FBI Director Kash Patel, was reportedly compromised with malware targeting macOS users to steal cryptocurrency assets. The attack involved tricking users into executing terminal commands that exposed sensitive data, including browser session tokens and wallet information. MetaMask has flagged the site as potentially deceptive, warning of risks related to malicious transactions and asset theft.
The malware, identified as "ClickFix," is an infostealer type, silently extracting data from devices. Reports indicate that the compromised data could include session tokens and cryptocurrency wallet details, potentially leading to asset loss if users execute the prompted commands. The website, co-owned by Patel and Andrew Ollis, was inaccessible following the incident, with a message indicating it would return online soon. The extent of any financial losses remains unclear.
